Randy Owen One On One

As the lead singer of the legendary group Alabama, Randy Owen would appear to have seen and done it all – 73 million albums sold, countless miles on the road touring, a warehouse full of awards and a coveted spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Yet this singer/songwriter/ entertainer/rancher is embarking on a new path – a solo career with a new album One On One set for a November 4, 2008, and a national tour with a 10-piece band and an attitude and work ethic that rivals a brand new artist.

“I’m as excited about this as I’ve ever been,” said Owen. “Before I decided to do the solo thing, we put a band together and did some dates late last year to see if the fans were still out there. When I came back I was totally convinced we needed to do this.”

Randy teamed up with John Rich to produce One On One for the powerhouse independent label Broken Bow Records. The multi-faceted Rich, who has produced Gretchen Wilson, his own duo Big & Rich, James Otto, Jewel, and John Anderson’s critically-acclaimed Easy Money album, jumped at the chance to work with the legend. “John’s so smart about what he wants to hear,” said Randy of the experience. “And the musicians he works with in the studio understand what he wants. We really took our time with it and didn’t rush it, and I’m really pleased with what we came out with.”

His long connection with his fans is the exact reason he titled the album One On One. “I feel like this album is a real personal thing – me to you,” he says passionately. “The song ‘One On One’ is one of the most personal songs on the album.”

“Personal” is also a very fitting description for most of One On One. From the touching “Braid My Hair,” which writers Chris Gray and Brent Wilson – who never had a song released as a single – graciously donated 100% of the publishing proceeds from the song to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to “Pray Me Back,” “Holding Everything,” “Slow and Steady” to the perfect wedding song “No One Can Love You Anymore,” Randy lays his heart on the line.

The mood of the new album runs the gamut from the passionate “Let’s Pretend We’re Strangers for the Night,” and “I Confess” to the remorseful “Like I Never Broke Her Heart” to the fun “Urban’s On The Country Radio” and the wistful Caribbean-themed “Barbados.”

For over 30 years Randy has been the front man and lead vocalist of one of the most prolific groups in the history of music. The band signed a recording contract with RCA Records in 1980, launching a career that to date has resulted in 21 gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums yielding 42 1 singles. Alabama received over 150 industry awards including eight "Entertainer of the Year" honors, two Grammys, two People's Choice Awards and their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were named the "Artist of the Decade" by the Academy of Country Music and "Country Group of the Century" by the Recording Industry Association of America. In November 2005, Randy and his Alabama band mates received Country Music’s highest honor, being inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame. In May, 2008, the city of Ft. Payne, Alabama honored their favorite sons with life-size bronze statues in the heart of town.

“I’m very proud of everything we accomplished, and I hold what we did with Alabama as a very sacred part of my life,” Randy concludes.

Randy’s passion for helping others is evident through the types of causes he and the band choose to support. Alabama played an integral role in raising millions of dollars for schools, public service organizations, hospitals, youth ranches and scholarships. But no organization is dearer to Randy’s heart than the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

In 1989, Randy was asked to address the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville following the death of Danny Thomas who was to be the seminar’s keynote speaker. Inspired by the dreams and determination of St. Jude founder Thomas, Randy offered a challenge to those in attendance to accept Danny’s dream of eradicating childhood cancers and other catastrophic diseases. Randy delivered the message well, and Country radio accepted the challenge with passion. “Country Cares for St. Jude Kids” was born.

“I called it the ‘Miracle on Beale Street,’” said Randy, referring to St. Jude being based in Memphis and the city’s most famous street.

The national radiothon program is today the most successful radio fundraiser in history. Hundreds of radio stations and the entire music industry have joined hands and forces to fight the never ending battles of childhood cancer and other diseases. The events have raised an astounding $340 million since Randy’s challenge in 1989.

For his efforts, last year Tony Thomas, son of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas, presented Randy with the prestigious Founder’s Award – an honor that Danny only bestowed on very special occasions. In accepting the award, Owen acknowledged the fans of country music, the men and women of country radio and the country music industry for embracing Danny’s dream. Just this year, Randy accepted an NAB Education Foundation’s Celebration of Service To America Award on behalf of Country Cares for St. Jude Kids for the ongoing success of the program.

Randy was recently back in Washington DC where The Friends of the National Library of Medicine organization chose him to receive the Paul G. Rogers Public Service Award for his many years of work with St. Jude. And on May 10, 2008, Randy Owen was honored to receive the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor in a ceremony held in New York City.

When not on the road promoting his music career, Randy can be found operating his successful working cattle ranch “Tennessee River Music” on the grounds of his Lookout Mountain boyhood family farm. “Tennessee River Music” has garnered many national, regional and state championships in the registered Polled Hereford Breed. In May, he will host his 25th major cattle sale at his ranch. Each year he performs at the event, and all concert proceeds will be donated to the Hereford Youth Foundation which is dedicated exclusively to scholarship and educational support of youth in the business of raising Hereford cattle.

No one would blame Randy Owen if he decided to sit back and enjoy his legendary status as one of the founding members and lead vocalist of the Recording Industry Association of America Country Group of the Century, yet his heart still burns to take new music to the fans who have been touched by his words, his music. One On One – both on radio and on stage - is sure to give back to the fans what God has given him.

“I still love to get out and play. I’m head-over-heels into this album, and I’m in it for the long run.”

"I still love to get out and play. I'm head-over-heels into this album, and I'm in it for the long run."

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

I love your music.I write poems and was thinking about converting a poem into a song.I was wondering if you would ever consider co-writing one of my poems into a song.Here is one called "Don't Give Up"Don't give up,don't let go of your
dreams.Life is never as bad as it seems!
Don't be afraid of whats new or
strange.Don't worry about what you can't
change.Don't loose faith in better days
ahead,dwell on thoughts of hope and joy
instead.Romances may fail,and fortunes may
fall,but don't let any of it back you up
against a wall.Live your life as your heart
dictates too,just remember that whatever
happens the only one to blame is you!When
it feels like you have a bad luck
curse,realize that things could always be
worse.So don't give up on whatever it might
be,because if you do,it now becomes part of
your life you will never see.If you did this I would be forever in your debt.I really hope to hear from you.Bye Tony

Hey Randy,

Thank you for adding us. We have all loved your music through the years.
I have been able to play guitar for Jeff on 5 or 6 shows and had a blast.
Would love to do a show or jam with you sometime, but, I'm probably not the only
person that would like that. Anyway, keep those great songs coming.
Country music needs you bad right now.

Mike with " Tremayne "
